Residence on Park Street Reviews

This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of Gangaramaya Temple, Seema Malakaya Temple, famous for its Bawa architecture, and a supermarket. The room was spacious and everything was provided except for a toothbrush. The restaurant staff were very polite in answering questions, and the food looked and tasted delicious. I didn't know how to use the TV at first, so I asked the front desk, and they sent a staff member right away, and the response was amazing. Unlike large hotels, this hotel had a classic and relaxed atmosphere.

Good hotel. The bathroom is big, I just fell in love) Friendly staff. Delicious food.

The advantage is that the room is big and the environment is OK, but the bedding is a bit dirty and old. Or I just want to find a hotel to rest for a while after a red-eye flight. If you want to stay seriously, you should spend more money and stay in Shangri-La

At the epicenter of Colombo, between Slave Island, Galle green and Viharamahadevi Park, the Residence manages to remain tucked away from the city clamor around its century-old inner pavillion. What could have ended up a members-only address reveals a canvas for harmony of volumes, elements and above all personalised hospitality. Depending on the time or temperature of the day: private patio, pool side, terrace restaurant or cocktails bar each offer a quaint, timeless elegant framework for carpe diem. But the charm of the place wouldn't reveal without the dedication of the whole team, from housekeeping to restaurant to front of house. Silva at the front desk facilitated a last minute reservation for what turned out an ideal urban stay at the heart of Colombo. Not only he alleviated the online booking intricacies but ensured a constant availability throughout. Rarely service is provided with such genuine involvement and flexibility.

I hosted high tea for 12 ladies on 18 August . We expected to be in the main restaurant with the view but got dumped at the back in the hot area. It was too late to change.. however staff previously accommodating, the food was good. But missed being in the room with the view, empty restaurant ! I think the staff could not be bothered tidying up after us because they were expecting people for dinner . There was no one else for afternoon tea they should have done better by giving us some more pleasant ambience which was available if they hadtaken the trouble. The food was reasonable and there was plenty. Price was high at Rs 4298 per head. I am courage to be more generous in accommodating people in the main restaurant when it’s a large group so they can enjoy the view. and the ambience of UGA. I do not wish to be in generous so a score of 4 only, rather than 3 whereas I would have given 5

a professional standard of very clean room service. Always available with a bright smile. An essential part of the team. Sri, the head barman and general supervisor has an excellent knowledge of international cocktails made at perfection. Excellent food & great pool.

I loved the location in center . It’s a very colonial boutique hotel with only 10 rooms . The rooms are comfortable . Great personalized service . Food is average . They can improve on their breakfast . Next to the hotel is THE mews . Has several great small restaurants , bar and coffee places .

One of the best experiences I had with customer service. Their restaurant manager Shehan and Shahnaz were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure that our whole experience and our big day was the most wonderful and stress-free time it could have been. Thanks a lot team! Keep up the good work! I highly recommend them for their quality of food and service for events and parties!

What a wonderful, elegant hotel. The suites are beautifully appointed and very spacious. Breakfasts were vast, the staff throughout the hotel were charming and helpful. The highlight was dinner! The chef got a big “thumbs up”. Wish we were coming back and definitely would recommend.

This is a perfect way to either start or end your trip to Sri Lanka, in the heart of Columbo but no noise, you are shielded from hustle and bustle of the city outside. The rooms we stayed in 4, and 6 were luxury class, really spacious, well decorated and make you feel special. Highly recommended to a short stay in Columbo.

A lovely hotel with character and large spacious rooms. The staff are friendly and because it was raining I had dinner in the hotel one night and it was excellent. Breakfast is pretty good but not up to the same standards but if I lived in Singapore I would even go here for dinner. The prawn starter was so tasty, the bar staff were also helpful

This was a very nice place to beat off the heat and chaos of Colombo. Historic building with large rooms and a nice pool. The Park Street Mews restaurant area was close by and was excellent. When we needed to find a Doctor they directed us to a new, world class private hospital that was outstanding.

This hotel is so welcoming. Unfortunately we could only stay one night. When we go back we will definitely stay longer. The head bartender, Shamal, is the best. His attention to our needs was very much appreciated. The food is very good, the accommodations clean and comfortable. The way the courtyard is decorated at night makes you want to sit out and have a cocktail and relax. We will definitely be back. Thank you Shamal for everything!

I had my son’s 2nd year birthday celebration yesterday, 22nd Oct 2024 at this lovely, cozy place which turned out so well. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Shahnaz Rockwood & team for the outstanding service and coordination provided. The high tea arrangements were delightful and the lovely ambiance made everything perfect. Despite the last-minute preparations everything was arranged flawlessly. The kids and all our guests truly enjoyed themselves. Thank you Shahnaz once again for making the day so memorable! You are such a wonderful, bubbly person and ofcourse a valuable asset to Rare bar + Kitchen. All the best & keep smiling!
